but the woman claimed this made no sense and she suspects they were attempting to catch her father feeding stray cats she had been on probation for doing in the past year guys this is ludicrous a surveillance state against us is growing exponentially by the day and the rationale to spy on us is becoming ever more trivial at the same time the establishment is making it harder and harder to film them it's an issue our next guest knows very well he's been arrested multiple times for attempts to flip the camera on the cops so to talk about his experience fighting the police state and explain what rights we have i'm joined by in freeman host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show free talk live and contributor to cop a walk in thank you so much for taking the time thanks for having me so you were just arrested a couple weeks ago for recording video in a public place you caught a good majority of the day on camera let's take a look at some of that footage. just as you post a sign doesn't mean you get to eliminate the freedom of the press and have you are

familiar with the click decision. i'm just going to watch and i'm going to be certain there is no video by the way switches or there's no civilians are in this town hall now have you heard of that they're just using to shut off the video have you heard of the glick barge refusing i don't know if using the shot also a video camera i don't know if i'm asking you have you heard of the glick decision this is ridiculous man you were here last time when i was recording so you got arrested for disorderly conduct not for filming i mean were they just trying to create a reason and explain why the glick decision is significant for incidents like this and others like it well sure glick decision was simon glynn and he was an attorney in boston who was recording the police doing something listen to another person and of course they arrested him for it and thankfully he's an attorney so it was easy for him to take it to court and go all the way that supreme court and get a ruling that basically reaffirms your right as an individual to. government

bureaucrats when they're on duty in any public place so that's what i was doing there at town hall that day and the reason they charged me with disorderly conduct is because had basically beaten him down on the whole wiretapping claim so disorderly conduct it's always been this sort of this catchall or you know any activists doing something or anybody doing something they don't like if they don't actually have a lot of get shoot with the go with disorderly conduct or you know resisting arrest or some other catch all they have a handful of catches and that's one of them so even we know that some states have tried to make laws passed to make filming illegal to film cops i mean are there any states that currently have these laws on the books preventing citizens from filming or have the courts kind of upheld the citizen's rights here. you know i can answer there's fifty different states there are some states like illinois where it's way worse than in other states like wiretapping laws of course some states are two

party consent recording states versus one party where you know where for instance the federal law is one party in that if one person knows that there is a recording going of a conversation then it's completely legal here in new hampshire for instance the two party state where everybody must know who is connected to a conversation that it's being recorded which makes doing undercover video work you know busting a bad business or something or in this case bad bureaucrats very difficult i don't even know what the situation is in massachusetts but it was pretty clear that i wasn't you know undercover recording or wiretapping in any way you know surreptitiously or secretly recording so that's why they came after me with a disorderly conduct charge and in theory i should be able to beat it but then again the court system always tends to lean towards its own people i mean and if you're being prosecuted by the you know by the same as are running the court and in a lot of cases are your defense attorneys i won't be accepting state attorney to defend me. however i think it all myself. and yeah good point i mean every state

has has different laws of course founder adam mueller having to serve three months in jail for pacifically this recording a conversation try and i mean they're recording everything that he can do so when you're trying to record a conversation or try to expose some sort of corruption of course the law comes down hard on us and i just want to ask you this technology exists now to surveil through walls cops might have the ability to bring drug sniffing dogs to your neighborhood and of course trap wire i mean the extensive surveillance apparatus all across the country collectively what is the biggest problem that arises from the surveillance state and well the over time it's your privacy just keeps getting eroded over further and the old question in the state defenders will ask is well if you don't have anything to hide why do you care and the thing is maybe you don't have anything to hide right now but eventually they might decide to make something that you do a legal and then you will have something to hide but by that point it might be too

late and of course you always turn that question back around on you know these government bureaucrats that are arresting camera people left and right what is the they have to hide what are they so afraid of maybe they're afraid people are going to see that they really are nothing more than just a criminal gang of governments nothing more than a criminal enterprise that's been very successful and they're so brazen they can fly flags out of their offices. we saw at the oscar grant video kelly thomas and i we would never know and we would never hold these people accountable even though of course may show they didn't really get held accountable but i mean without video and without filming the cops we would never know what they're doing of course the chilling effect is really the problem with the surveillance state and you contribute a lot to cop block what rights do people have i don't think a lot of people know that they don't have to allow cops in their home they don't have to allow cops to search their car i mean where can people find out what their rights are just explain a little bit more about what people can do. to fight the police state well

obviously karpal are going or it is a great resource lots of good information there. it's also do a good job of really laying out basic rights and you don't have an obligation to answer the door when the police are there obviously they show you that on their television shows cop cars for instance is always going to show people answering the door and talking to them you know hollywood movies are always going to show people going to the door and talking to the police so you don't have to do what you see them do on t.v. if the cops come to your house you have no obligation to answer talk to them in any way shape or form if you are driving they do say you know i'm no attorney and but they say you don't have to answer any questions beyond providing you know your license and registration if you're driving if you're sitting in a passenger seat you don't have to provide them with anything in most places that i know of so you know for instance you can be obligated to have a driver's license on you if you are driving people think about these things and

they're trained to to answer questions the police are trained to be very intimidating so when the cops tell someone to do something they tend to do it and people need to think twice before they just jump to it and obey whatever it is that they're told to do because it's our obedience that has allowed things to become the way that they are if people would stand up for the rights that they supposedly have then maybe we would actually be able to retain them but as long as people keep giving up their freedoms keep being willing to go along to get along then we'll just keep losing more of it over time as they just with a little way absolutely what about just walking around i'm going to stop you and ask you you know do you have your idea on you and kind of all the you know that do you just said you don't really need to carry an i.d. or show cops that idea right and that are on our states some states claim that you have to tell them who you are in pain quire and i don't know which states those are and obviously like i said there's a litany of them. they can't possibly obligate you to have an id because it would

require you to be going down to some government agency and submit yourself to their id in process you should be able to walk from point a to point b. without carrying identification but that doesn't mean they won't ask you and a car can stop you anywhere and ask you something just like any other human being can stop you on the street and ask you something but you don't have an obligation to answer their questions in fact one of the best things you can do is ask them questions in return you know the old sales outages that he asked the questions is winning and so you ask them a question am i being detained they usually have to answer that question and if you're not being detained then ask in my free to go and then get out of there and go on with your day and be productive good really good wait for activists to really get that firsthand and i've been detained if i'm not you can leave it's really important thank you so much for breaking all that down it is getting more pervasive and we really do need to know our rights most important thing we can know in one

the. next.

four years ago president obama gave an unprecedented speech in cairo aimed at undoing an aeroflot relations with the muslim world and the speech the newly elected president projected his desire to turn the chapter on the past and embark on a new era of mutual understanding diplomacy and friendship and while many in the middle east were hopeful their optimism began to simmer as the arab spring turned to a bitter fall it became evident that palestine would remain ignored so now that obama's been elected for a second term what's the sentiment in the middle east and what actions can we expect from the president now that he's not seeking reelection to talk about all this and more i'm joined by r t arabic correspondent rima abou hub via thank you so much for coming on thank you for having me so remote. many egyptians are relieved that obama got elected i want to read you this tweet. is a big sigh of relief from egypt the alternative was just too awful to consider do

you think that's a sentiment for many that are just so grateful that it's the lesser evil other people think that way it was a choice but we end a bad person and a worse a lot of them just think that way however i went through a lot of tweets from the arab world i love them just said it doesn't really matter it doesn't really matter if obama got elected or romney got elected they are just two faces or two heads of the same point and the foreign policy of the us is not going to change just because we have obama in power or we have romney i love a lot of them were. very disappointed with obama that they think having either romney or obama is not just going to be any worse than the past four years. couldn't agree more with us talk about israel you know a lot of people were talking to you during the lead up to the election the saying well here's the lesser of two evils you have romney who would definitely attack iran and then you have obama who wouldn't attack iran i personally never saw any

indication that obama would attack iran and he said no option was off the table he said that he would draw a hard line he's been catering to netanyahu they've been competing for who can you know cater toward him more so i mean really what do you think about that like just the whole israel situation what do you think should have happened with iran and was there really between the two romney was not going to attack iran if there was an attack on iran it would be either romney or obama it does not have it it's not the president who is going to take a decision like that it seems at least in the case of iran because when when romney was talking about iran he was talking about harsher out sanctions just what obama is doing right now i don't think either one of them is. if he's going to go. to start a war against iraq to want to wage war against iran it's not necessarily obama or romney if that decision is made that decision is made it's not romney is not going

to start it obama is not going to start it they're just the same thing you know who's a little bit of. you know you. just because romney much more closer to the red line and he wanted to i. was i did a lot of reading about this seems as if people have mixed feelings about. feels right now that obama got reelected we have to mention that under obama's administration israel got more military aid and then under any other administration and they know that they realize that so for them to say even higher one thing that you asked to go. to another war just because they think that the red line should be here and that there and i think even not yet on himself believes that this is probably too much let's just give it a shot try and if it were it out there yeah i don't want to or it doesn't work that it doesn't work it is amazing that the barges continues to be set higher and higher

in terms of. the money the military support. let's let's shift to syria i mean our team just in an exclusive interview with. assad do you think that obama was waiting for reelection to really deal with syria i mean it's kind of something we can't ignore. the international community kind of has its eyes on the country what do you think's going to happen now that the reelection i think the arab world is divided over this some people say obama's not going to change his policies on syria he didn't have a chance before didn't use it he's not going to change now he has a lot more at stake at home to take care of them are concerned wary of another war they're just not going to do another war for syria or in syria. however a lot of people think that the u.s. was just waiting for the elections to be over to store not necessarily a buffer zone but maybe more military aid to the opposition not necessarily again

through the u. wound but through maybe other countries like saudi arabia qatar turkey you know any player on the ground so i mean we don't know exactly what's going to happen what we we do have indications cameron the prime minister of england right after the election the reelection of obama was talking about a new plan for syria does that mean that they're going to do something in syria you know more probably more military aid again we don't know again this is something that's dividing the world they just cannot see a clear policy from obama towards the middle east assad just said he's not going to stop that i mean he's going to die there just like gadhafi and we heard them talk about the no fly zones there's a lot of talk a lot of rhetoric being thrown around so it'll be very interesting to see how that plays out let's talk about palestinian statehood palestine

a seeking of statehood israel buildings settlements in or twelve hundred. completely just his unabashed lawlessness just moving forward with these settlements do you think anything is going to change now that obama is reelected i mean a lot of people are hopeful thinkin oh maybe now that he doesn't have one eye on the elections. elections and another eye on domestic issues basically economy maybe he can do something about the palestinian israeli especially because he was so enthusiastic in the first hour he just had so many hopes and he just laid them out in cairo everywhere honestly i believe that he probably realizes there is nothing that he can do about it not when that now is in power. not when lieberman is in power not when they simply continue to build settlements to. even put more checkpoints between cities there simply dividing the country making it

impossible for the palestinians to create their to create their own country or establish their own country and the bit at the un there's really is a readiness for and the palestinians they have the tax money that they're withholding and they can do even or take more measures against the palestinians and is obama willing to maybe exercise pressure and as well that's something that a lot of people think well you know you have to lobby you have the congress you have a lot of players here not necessarily that's not going to be the case not in the not in the first year at least was just seems like obama could at least condemn the fact that israel is violating international law by building an encroaching on post and then just like the rest of the international community france and and all these countries are saying we don't we condemn this we don't agree with this so for obama to just kind of sit back and just totally ally himself with israel is just i think an insult really and you know let's see if anything changes i fear that it won't

hope. things do move forward thank you so much for coming on. really push your time thank you. i want to get serious i want to talk to you about torture but more importantly the impunity for torturers recently i learned about two u.s. military contractors who claim that u.s. forces detained and tortured them in two thousand and six after they blew the whistle on their employer for illegally running guns the two have since filed a lawsuit against former secretary of defense donald rumsfeld claiming that rumsfeld himself is the one who approved of the torture of the so-called harsh interrogation techniques used on prisoners however the seventh circuit court of appeals said that they don't have the right to sue rumsfeld or anyone else in the military chain of command for that matter now as shocking as it seems for our

military to torture whistleblowers who have nothing to do with the forces we're fighting against sadly this story is not unique u.s. forces abroad operate and knew from accountability every time we hear about rape murder torture or destruction of property it's always dismissed out of the adage war is hell well that's not good enough take the case of don lemon a paramedic for the defense contractor kellogg brown and root a subsidiary of good old halliburton following a rocket attack near her living quarters in southern iraq dawn woke up covered in blood she had been raped and sodomized by an american soldier and one of her very own our colleagues said of her lawyer taking action to support her lehman was ordered by her superiors to keep quiet instead but as despicable as don lemon's case is there are countless others like the story of jamie lee jones who was raped by multiple manage at k.b.r.

camp in iraq when she spoke out about the incident k.b.r. guards locked turn a shipping container and threatened to fire her if she tried to leave or tell anyone about what happen. and jamie finally was able to get out and fight a lawsuit against how the burn and its subsidiary now i wish i could say that this story has a happy ending but it doesn't and this is the part that really makes me sick and examination by army doctors showed that she had been raped and analeigh but the rape kits suddenly disappeared after it was handed over to k.b.r. officials not only to jamie lose the case in court but k.b.r. countersued her wanting her to pay the two million dollars they spent in court fees and also for slandering their name home i'm so sorry caveat that torture rape and unlawful to tame it's bad p.r. for you you know it would be a lot easier to sympathize with k.b.r. if this was an isolated incident and if they held the rapists accountable but as we know this other lawlessness with military contractors is systematic this is just

another example of the horrible nightmare that is u.s. involvement in iraq don't forget to forget who the number one for potent for the war was dick cheney who as it turns out was a former halliburton c.e.o. what a surprise now as much as obama would like to have everyone believe that the war in iraq is over his left behind a huge contingent from the state department along with tens of thousands of armed private contractors who operate above the law but seriously can you blame the people that the u.s. government hires when the u.s. government itself was the one approving torture and creating a legal framework for it people are hurt their lives are ruined forever and all they want is justice but they won't get it because what we're left with today is a culture of impunity where our president has declared that looking forward is more important than restoring the rule of law and holding the war criminals accountable

centrally what obama has done is normalize this criminality. and all of the cases and with the government just passing the buck. this missing them is just a few bad apples but when the courts are throwing out lawsuits against the people that authorize torture and abuse what we're left with is a two tiered justice system who's left to decide who's to blame but yeah i'll just forget about it we've got four more years to just look forward. to news sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and we're going to see this is why you should care only on the dog.
